Hi Robin and Wei,
If you were using 16a (the major update to SimEvents), you could use some new features for this.
But since you are using 15b, I can send you the model I sent Mads. (I will send it in a separate email directly.)

I think you should be able to use a variable to control the batch amounts in it. If you need more explanation, let me know, and I will try to set up some time to talk through your problem.
